CLINTON INTERNALS SHOW 11-POINT LEAD IN PA  —  Controlled excitement is building inside of Clinton's inner circle as closely guarded internal polling shows the former first lady with an 11-point lead in Pennsylvania!  —  Clinton is polling near to nearly 2 to 1 over Obama in many regions of the state …

Gallup:
Gallup Daily: Obama Regains Lead Over Clinton, 49% to 42%  —  A sharp reversal of the tightening of the race seen late last week  —  PRINCETON, NJ — Support for Barack Obama's nomination bid has rebounded among national Democratic voters, who now favor him over Hillary Clinton by a seven percentage point margin, 49% to 42%.
Discussion: Prairie Weather
Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
DRUDGE?  —  There's a very odd splash headline that Drudge is running claiming that Sen. Clinton's internals show her with an 11 point lead in the state.  Now, Sen. Clinton's campaign has taken some heat during the campaign for opening lines of communications with Drudge and even giving him some exclusives.
Discussion: Washington Monthly and Daily Kos
Jeanne Cummings / The Politico:
Dem voter surge could cut Clinton margin  —  An historic spike in Democratic voter registrations in Pennsylvania could help Barack Obama cut into Hillary Clinton's vote in Tuesday's primary, robbing her of the big victory margin she needs to justify continuing the primary fight.

Thomas Frank / Wall Street Journal:
Obama's Touch of Class  —  Allow me to introduce myself.  According to the general clucking of the national punditry, my 2004 book - “What's the Matter With Kansas?”  - is supposed to have persuaded Barack Obama to describe the yeomanry of Pennsylvania as “bitter” people who …
Rick Santorum / Philly.com:
The Elephant in the Room: Why conservatives should support McCain  —  Anyone who knows me knows that I don't shy away from offering my two-cents on the issues of the day, particularly in presidential races.  And anyone who has heard me talk about the presidential race over the last few months knows …

McCain: Elizabeth Edwards claim ‘a cheap shot’  —  During a somewhat testy interview with George Stephanopoulos, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Sunday that Elizabeth Edwards took a “cheap shot” at him by claiming that the presidential candidate had government healthcare his whole life.

John McCormick / Chicago Tribune:
Obama: 'Why can't I just eat my waffle?'  —  SCRANTON, Pa. - As Sen. Hillary Clinton was preparing to campaign here today, Sen. Barack Obama was meeting with voters at a diner and apparently pretty hungry.  —  “Why can't I just eat my waffle?” he said, when asked a foreign policy question by a reporter at the Glider Diner.
Jeanne Cummings / The Politico:
McCain exits campaign money race  —  John McCain is abandoning any hope of catching the Democrats in fundraising.  —  Based on new financial disclosure reports released Sunday, and interviews with his finance team, the Republican Party's presumptive nominee will instead accept taxpayer money …
Nora Ephron / The Huffington Post:
White Men  —  Here's another thing I don't like about this primary: now that there are only two Democratic candidates, it's suddenly horribly absolutely crystal-clear that this is an election about gender and race.  This may have always been true, but weeks ago it wasn't so obvious …
Michael Moore / Mike's Message:
My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore  —  I don't get to vote for President this primary season.  I live in Michigan.  The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.  —  So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor?
Kevin Drum / Washington Monthly:
MORE AD NONSENSE....Are the pro-Obama forces seriously trying to get their troops outraged over this latest ad from Hillary Clinton?  Just because it contains a ten-second sequence of presidential crises (Depression, Pearl Harbor, gas crisis, Katrina, etc.) and flashes a half-second clip of Osama bin Laden as part of it?
Discussion: TalkLeft and Don Surber
John Fund / Wall Street Journal:
The Media's Man  —  Journalists flay ABC for failing to coddle Obama.  —  George Stephanopoulos and Charlie Gibson of ABC News weren't just criticized for their tough questioning of Barack Obama during last week's Democratic debate.  They were flayed.  —  Hendrik Hertzberg of The New Yorker called …

Tim Hoover / Denver Post:
Right to Life blasts Schaffer  —  An anti-abortion group is blasting Bob Schaffer, Republican candidate for a Colorado U.S. Senate seat, over his defense of human rights conditions in the Northern Mariana islands, an American territory where allegations that factory workers must undergo forced abortions are common.
Financial Times:
Democrats must choose Obama  —  Barack Obama goes into Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary as strong favourite, whatever happens, to secure the Democratic presidential nomination.  Yet the vote could still go either way.  —  This is a sign of how close this race has been and how deeply it has divided the party.
Andrew Sullivan / The Daily Dish:
Rendell Praises Farrakhan  —  Will Clinton reject and denounce?  The extreme praise that Rendell pours on the Nation of Islam is pretty impressive.  But somehow, you know George Stephanopoulos is uninterested.
